Wonder why the price is so much? You could get a nice used atv on cl for that? But ive never seen one at sears good find :thumbsup:

Here's the link from the Yerf Dog site. No suspension though. At least it's American made.

Yerf-Dog MiniBike #31700

I thought these were out of production because Yerf went out of buisness....

BMI bought up all the parts and were suporting the product so maybe these are units being built from left overs. That kind of makes sence when you consider these are being fitted with a Tecumseh engine ( also out of buisness and I think BMI bought up ths stock they had too )

I think nos, price is dropping $889.40 now. I like it, have seen 2 on cl, but too far away. Would like to compare to Baja mb165 before I buy.

It's being sold by a drop ship seller not by Sears. SpectrumSuperStore finds vendors that will drop ship and he adds on his premium and then submits the order for you. The outfit has 45000 items for sale!

Better luck finding out who the actual vendor is (could call spectrum super store and ask who is providing warranty) and go direct for a better price.

I have one - IIRC it's "American assembled" with a Chinese frame. An Acme frame would be much stronger.

BMI Karts has new ones for $600 now, but shipping is $400. Yerf-Dog MiniBike (31700), www.bmikarts.com : BMI Karts & Supplies : Go Karts Parts : Racing Go Kart Parts : GoKarts : Versailles, Ohio : USA : Indoor Track : Tips :doah:

NON WORKING headlight. Just for looks. That's bogus.

Total rider wieght 150LBS, count me out. For that price you should be able to get at least a fwe family members on it.

I picked one (brand new) of these up at the Portland Indiana Scooter Swap this past summer for $550 cash. I love it! Very heavy duty, runs great, and moves my 300 lbs just fine. No suspension but has a big sprung bicycle seat that is comfy.
I removed the stickers and the plastic fake tank and installed an NOS black Whizzer tank on it. Just doing that has garnered a LOT of attention for this mini bike. If you can grab one for $600 otd... then I highly recommend it.

Hello Classicriders,

I really had the hots for one of these awhile back, but got over it. They come up from time to time on CL usually around $300. I have never actually seen one up close, will have to go look at one sometime.

I am stuck on Baja DB30's now, too easy, runs great, can change up tires, engines, gears, has cool aftermarket stuff, etc. I am not a big guy so DB30 is big enough for me. That's mainly why I lost interest in Yerfdog, more trouble to transport and store cause bigger.

Otherwise, I am sure makes a great minibike. :thumbsup:

I like the looks of it, but the price scares me.

 

[ratsrods]

I bought mine new when they came out in 2002 off ebay for the "then" going price of 600.00 and free shipping and I love it, It hauls my 275 lb but with out any problem, and have never had a problem with it, working headlight is a big plus, it's a nice heavy duty rigid frame but has a spring seat and big tires to absorb any issues on the trails

I have a Hawg-Ty and it does look identical, minus the springer front end of the Hawg-Ty. Im just glad I got mine for $80 used

Back from the dead. Sorry, I found the thread with a Google search. But this for $150.00 had a Flat tire. I fixed the tire and I like the bike. pretty big in person.
